Lyrics
Ooh, I remember when we used to play in the park
Oh yeah
Hey Boulevard, I wanna get rushed into the water, ese
Hey hold on, carnalito
Let me tell you a true story
That might change your mind about being in a gang
I remember when we were just a couple of mocosos
Causing trouble all the time and getting caught with our vatos
But it was fun and we had so many good times
Me and you, we put our troubles behind
It was the two of us, kicking it day and night
Looking forward to the chance that we would get in a fight
Toe-to-toe street boxing, putazos cada dia
Then we met up with some vatos that belonged to a pandilla
They hit us up, "Where you from?" I said, "Nowhere, man"
They replied real quick and said, "Get jumped into our gang
Nosotros controlamos aqui, chavalas
We heard that you was tough, pues sabes que we call the balas"
I looked at my carnal, my homie, my dog
Before I had a chance, the gey says, "Hit him with the log"
Ran up to homeboy and I gave him a putazo
Pues tremendo gripa, todavia no hizo caso
They jumped me from behind, I tried to hold my ground
Before I knew it, man, my pinche body went down
In a daze, de verdad no me recuerdo
All I could remember was my homie sufriendo
It only lasted about a minute or two
But to me, it seemed like it would never be through
After they rushed us, they came and shook our visas
Now they respect us, before they despised us
We're in a gang now, pues ni modo
Me and my homie became two down cholos
I remember you, homie
I remember you, homie
Ese, I remember you like if it was yesterday, yesterday
Yes, I do
Pisteando por la primera vez
I knew that I was late, but I could care less
Me and my homie on a mattress
With janas to the right and janas to my left
I felt firme, nada me vale
I'm with my homeboy, listo pa un desmadre
A la brava, I felt like doing a jale
I asked around, but everybody said, "Chale"
But you know what, he calls me perro
He said, "I got your back, holmes, tu sabes te quiero"
So we went off in our primera mision
After our mision, we felt all chingon
So we got some yesca and went up to Mulholland Drive
Bumped the oldies and kicked it live
He liked to play Bretton Woods Greatest Hits
His favorite song was "Baby, You Got It"
When he would sing, it would echo through the canyon
It used to seem that like this place was his companion
Oh yeah, I can hear it now
That fool used to sing it loud
The precious memories, man, cause that's all I have
Sometimes I kick it and just think out loud
Sometimes I kick it and just shed a tear
I love you, homie, I miss you
I wish you were here
I remember you, homie
I remember you, homie
Ese, I remember you like if it was yesterday, yesterday
Yes, I do
Una noche loca, fin de semana
I was cruising, Bumpy Santana
That night, tenia mal sentido
Like someone would die o end up all torcido
I thought I was tripping so I got onto the highway
Left L.A. and headed to the Valle
Got there, my homie was waiting for me
He never let me down, he was a down homie
I picked him up and headed to the spot
On the way over there, I told him what I thought
He said, "Hey carnal, no te preocupes, brother
Nothing could happen cause we're down with each other"
I felt much better when we got to the bowl
I could hear the people there, bumping the boombox
Seen all kind of glittering lights, man, it was sparkling
Rafas to the side made it hard to find parking
Finally we spotted where to park my rafla
Soon as we came, they said, "What's up? Que pasa?"
My homie was anxious to get high
I was checking out the janas, they looked fine
Then all of a sudden, we seen another gang
They were driving up slower, everybody hit the floor
The shotgun rang, it was bang bang bang
I let out a whoop because tenia dolor
I see my homeboy dying, man, I was crying
Holding him tight because I was trying
To keep him alive so the Lord wouldn't take him
His heart stopped beating so I started to shake him
I said, "Please don't die, mi carnal
If you do, then everybody van a pagar"
He responded gently, gently as a dove
He said, "Take care of my jefa cause it's her that I love"
Man, I went crazy, what would you do
If you see your tightest homie die in front of you?
I remember you, homie
I remember you, homie
Ese, I remember you like if it was yesterday, yesterday
Yes, I do
Hey, carnalito, entendistes now, little brother?
Yeah, Boulevard, I understand what you said
Cause I don't wanna die like my big brother
Yeah, I remember
When we used to play shoot 'em up, alright
Yeah, I remember
When we used to play shoot 'em up, shoot 'em down, bang bang
Homie, ooh, I love you, brother
Oh, how I missed you now, yeah
